Ling Jun is a bespectacled old man with a scholarly demeanour. He smiles warmly when you walk through the door of his humble little shop. Business has been poor of late and he is welcome for any custom he can get. You ask about the potions in the window and he tells you he accepted them from a fisherman in exchange for a compass about a week ago. He retrieves the vials and sets them out on his glass counter for you to inspect:

- Two Potions of Laumspur: 40 Ren (4 Gold Crowns) each. These potions each restore 4 ENDURANCE when swallowed after combat.
- One Potion of Alether: 50 Ren (5 Gold Crowns). Adds 2 COMBAT SKILL for the duration of one combat.

You may buy any of the three potions shown above for the price indicated. They are all Backpack Items that will each take up one space. You are under no obligation to make a purchase.

When you have concluded your business here, you can bid goodbye to Ling Jun and continue on your way along Chuang Street by turning to 7.
